MGW Shifter Handle

MGW realized the need for a shifter handle that was closer to the driver.  The position of shifter handles in Mustangs is a pretty far reach for most drivers.  MGW came through by producing a handle that brings the handle closer on stock or even aftermarket shifters.

After receiving my shifter handle I noticed right away that a lot of attention was given to making this handle a cut above the rest.  The handle is thick and very well machined.

Comparison between Steeda Tri-Ax shifter handle and MGW. 

I installed my MGW handle on a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter.  The difference between the two handles is not as great as between the MGW and a stock shifter handle, but is still an improvement.  The only snag I ran into was the fact that the Steeda Shifter has a small ring that holds the rubber boot into position.  This had to be removed to provide clearance for the MGW handle.  The effect is negligible, as the MGW handle holds the boot down with its thick base.

Once the handle was installed I noticed the shifter felt more solid and was closer.  After a test drive I came to like the handle even more.  The shifts felt firm and solid and the vibration noise heard with most aftermarket shifters had diminished considerably.

The MGW shifter handle was definitely a good investment.  The $35 may seem a little high to some but you get what you paid for and the MGW handle is very well made and worth the price.
